Also, here's food for thought:
A bored student, a WLAN card and a sniffer can lead to interesting problems.
(i.e. login/passwords, packet capture and reassembly, etc..)
Also, I hope you are putting it outside of your firewall in a DMZ to control
access to what type of traffic can enter you LAN from there. Otherwise,
you're giving anyone within range of the WAP the ability to connect to
systems on that subnet without even trying.....
Just a few things to give you nightmares about.... Remember, a can a
Pringles used as a omni-directional antenna can pick up signals from ranges
that you would NEVER think of..... Never mind the guy that has LOS from 1
mile away with a professional setup to leech bandwidth off of you.

Yes, that is possible. All you are doing is connecting a wireless access
point to the wired network.
